Greetings all. Sold the boat 4 summers ago, kids, school, work
responsibilities. But hopefully the wife has caught my boat fever again and
we're looking to come back to the lake. We've found the right boat for us again
and I have two questions for you veterans. '95 Crownline 250CR has welded bow
rails. I remember reading posts here in the past about advantages and dis of
welded versus sections. Please remind me of the problems and things to watch
out for. Also, this boat has a 5.7 Merc Bravo III. The current owner tells me
changing the water pump/impeller is a breeze.Anybody have any suggestions on
this?

Don't want to start a war but this is the first Crownline I have ever seriously
considered. I'm impressed so far. Smooth, quiet and seems to be nailed together
very well. Anybody want to comment on Crownline vs maybe Searay? The other boat
in contention is a '99 240DA.

Peace,
